The threat of Rui Wenwen has opened a new era. The Internet connects people to each other, but the productivity of society has regressed back to more than ten years ago.
This is like movies during the Great Depression. Other industries declined due to the economic downturn. Only movies that allow people to escape reality are extremely popular.
The same is true for the Internet. The Internet is an illusory real world. It is much more immersive than movies. It is difficult to imagine what interesting phenomena will occur when the Internet was born in an era of economic depression.
In the Tiandou Empire, in a mediocre workers' apartment, a man who came back from get off work collapsed weakly on the bed in the living room. The workers' apartment was basically an apartment with one bedroom and one living room for a family of two. It didn't even have a kitchen. The bathroom was directly connected. It is placed in the living room. A family of three living in such an environment can imagine what a terrible experience it will be.
In order to develop the empire rapidly, he had to work in the factory until he was exhausted every day. The wages he received were barely enough to sustain his life.
This seemed good to people a few decades ago, and at least they could have enough to eat. But without comparison, there is no harm. In the past, the man's family owned their own house, and he and his sister even had their own
Room.
But after the bloody reforms, everything changed. Their houses were taken back from the state and transformed into garment factories, and any larger buildings were expropriated.
And they were arranged to live in a small house and live a life that was like a screw every day.
The wind and rain of reality made him learn not to fantasize. He no longer fantasized about having a romantic candlelight dinner with his wife, no longer fantasizing about buying toys for his children, and no longer fantasizing about going to a bar to order a cocktail when he was alone.
, no longer fantasize about one day being able to escape from this repetitive and boring life.
But when he gradually became numb, the world quietly changed. When he got the news that the network was restored, for some reason, he started to fantasize again.
Maybe he can't do anything in reality. But in the online world, he may be able to own a big house. Maybe he can become the king of the game. Or maybe he can go to see the illusory beach with his wife. He
I have never seen the sea since I was born.
The rekindled hope was as beautiful and deadly as a poppy. The sweatshop drained all his energy. But he wanted to devote all his energy to this illusory world.
He was not the only one lying on the bed in the worker's apartment, but also his wife and children. In this era, women and children were not without pressure. From a certain perspective, their pressure was not much worse than that of men.
Women are not excluded in the factory, which requires a lot of repetitive work. Rotating machinery is often fatal to hair. After several female employees were crushed to pieces because their hair was entangled in the machine.
All the female employees had to cut off their previously beautiful long hair, perhaps because their long hair could be used to remind them of a meat meal, or perhaps just because they could not afford a hat to restrain their hair.
Children study in school, but the pressure to study is no less than in a factory. Their scores determine their future, which is far more cruel than the college entrance examination. The scores in that exam determine their future for the rest of their lives.
destiny.
Both hard work and talent are essential. Children without talent cannot change their destiny no matter how hard they try, because the empire does not have so many resources to train children who are not talented enough to become leaders.
They will be assigned to a small home similar to their parents, and then marry a woman they have never met before, and work like a machine to reproduce and reproduce.
Such a cruel future was already known to them the moment they entered school. They wanted to get rid of this fate. The lowest standard is to be in the top 3% of everyone. If measured by the score line of the college entrance examination, it is probably necessary to take the exam.
Only by attending a key university can you escape your tragic fate.
It is not a school, but a school marked at least 985 or 211. You can imagine the difficulty of this, and the results have become the standard for measuring everything.
Children from men’s families work very hard, but sometimes talent is really important. The brains of children before the age of 18 are still not fully developed. And these are just subtle differences, which will determine how fast they learn, even if they are just
A difference of 1% will become a gap that is difficult to overcome over time.
There is no doubt that he knows very well that he will never be able to escape his tragic fate. In the future, he will still spend his life in mediocrity and pain like his parents.
So he decided to give up. It took great courage to give up. There was no place to escape from reality, and you would have to face a cruel society after leaving campus.
But now, an illusory world is before them. Perhaps with the existence of this illusory world, it is not unacceptable to become a worker with no future.
Compared with the network in reality, the network connected through spirituality has the ability to have an immersive experience. They can taste food they have never tasted through spiritual power. The illusory scene they see is also like a holographic virtual world.
The situation in mode is normal.
The more dreamy the world is, the more addictive it is. They will even choose some virtual food on the Internet when eating, making the real food no longer so difficult to swallow.
This family is just a small microcosm of the entire continent. After the advent of the Internet, countless people chose to escape the cruel reality. Almost all people living at the bottom of society have suffered from Internet addiction.
There were no problems at first, but gradually the factory owners found that their work efficiency began to decrease. Staying up late and immersed in the Internet could relax their bodies and minds, but their spirits were constantly exhausted.
In the factory, they begin to feel sleepy and unable to concentrate, and may even secretly turn on the Internet. After all, they do not need any Internet tools and can access the Internet through mental power.
The workers, who seemed to be sleepwalking all day long, finally faced the dissatisfaction of the factory owners. They began to report the situation to the country, hoping to obtain a device that blocks the Internet.
But this is difficult. It seems that there are only some records in the ruins left by Tulip. But the Internet can only be blocked in a small area. Otherwise, the two empires will never allow the Internet to enter their borders.
In the records of Tulip, this device has an appropriate and easy-to-understand name, called "Wall".
This is like a wall in the virtual world, isolating the inside and outside, and such a wall is undoubtedly more desperate in this world.
